An Odd Wind Blew

Visible to anyone in the world

Tonight such an odd wind blew

The doors resisted closing.

They whinnied and cried at their latches.

The leaves in the gutters scuttled restlessly.

They blew off and threw themsleves back again.

The trees creaked and cried out.

They squeaked like ghosts.

The chimney pots seemed unaffected, although

They must have known.

Tonight such an odd wind has blown.
